Is that really your middle name?

Yeah. Well, the Jay. Yeah. I'm Jeff Ramsey. Support your presidents. And I'm Gus. Oh, yeah, it's president today. Happy president, everybody.

We're pre-taping this. Hug your president. Yeah. It's not my president's day. We can quickly go around and say our favorite president. It's, it's, it's, um, my favorite president would probably have to be Andrew Jackson. Is that some libertarian? That's really like. He's just like, uh, possibly the worst.

Oh, like, yeah. Why the fuck would you take? I don't know. I just tried to pick a hot take him in high school. And so I knew and you got a speeding ticket on a horse once And that's all I know. That's how do you do that going too fast on a horse? How do you but how do you regulate a horse speed? We've had radar guns to like, yeah, no, I think it's just probably some kind of judgment I think I think just using like yield eyes eyes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I do like, I don't know if it was a pneumonic, not a pneumonic, but something. And so to figure out the president's name and what number they were, so mine was Millard

can fill more holes than 13 president. Wow. And I didn't know, I had no idea what that, but I got in trouble with that. I know nothing about Millard, film all over that. I use Coxman, yeah, celebrate. 13.

13, wow. Pretty cool. Back then, that was probably pretty good back then. That was probably pretty good And that was my option. What do I do? I've expected she was like 35 years. Yeah, yeah Let's see Van Buren Reagan you went to the van Buren boys, huh? Bush you can pick

um You know, I just think in the 80s is when presidents really started becoming presidents. I think Van Buren sent the he set the roadmap and then finally Ronald Reagan or country's greatest asset who set us on the positive course Ron today. Van Buren president from 1837 to 1841. So you're saying that Ronald Reagan was the full realization of Martin Van Buren. He fully realized the vision of the founder

of the Democratic Party. Right, correct. And it was realized by Ronald Reagan. Right, correct. But remember, Democrats used to be Republicans or something. Right, right, right. So you got to think of it that way.

See, you have to think of it that way. Way forward, each has to be here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think the of it that way. See, you have to think of it that way. Way forward to each episode over here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think the worst thing that happened when Trump got elected was everyone said, the punk music is gonna be so good now because we have something to rebel against. And I will say, it's fucking terrible. I said no, I absolutely said that. I was one of those people.

I tweeted it. How did it do, man? What's your favorite punk song from last? This fucking, I listened to, there's nothing. This fucking dog. It's a punk is dead and it has been for a while so I tell polo G That's so you want to listen to who what polo G polo the rapper the rapper. He's a hip hop artist Okay, that's where that's where the good stuff is okay. Yeah, I was listening on the way over here So punk is dead but polo G lives but hip hop is is right. I listen to fly like the wind by Christopher Cross or ride like the wind. Ride the wind on the way here.

That's awesome. Austin's own Christopher. Yeah, I didn't realize that. Oh, yeah. I was after I parked. I was reading up on the song. Apparently he wrote that song on a road trip from Houston to Austin while tripping on LSD.

Yeah. Christopher Cross was an awesome. He's from here. He recorded that album in Austin, I think. Yeah, he was coming up here to record that album, dropped acid, been wrote right like the way we're guessing at this. Mike knows. Stevia Revon is one of the session musicians on that album. So there you go. It's Christopher Cross. I think underrated guy, you get what's the old San Antonio is he on midnight special and he has like that oilers jersey on or whatever and he's playing all these songs and he does not look like he writes the songs that he does fucking awesome. I love yacht rock though. That's like my speed and

that's the voice. Yeah, I'm like, oh my god. Oh, yeah, yeah, Kenny logins. I think it's the guy that's right there and then Yeah, like that's like the era of the Dubie brothers where I go. Oh, you really, this is a really different band. There's nothing wrong. I don't believe different bands. Nothing wrong with Yacht Rock. Nope, love it. I have a whole playlist like six hours long. It's great. I don't know, there were six hours of Yacht Rock.

Oh, what was that? Yacht Rock band from documentary now. You bought the album, right? Oh, oh, the Jean Blue Jean Blue Jean committee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. That's supposed to be a ceiling craft. Isn't that who that's supposed to that's who that's making

I thought it was the Eagles. Maybe it's just a new or banned like trying to do that sound. So no, so documentary now is a like fake documentary show. Yeah, Fred Armason and Bill Hader and Seth Myers and a few other SNL guys or whatever. And each episode, it's like hosted by Helen Mirin, like it's a PBS show going like, remember this document, here's a, some of the documentary from 1980 and it's this and they're all making fun of other, other like, like, uh, like Gray Gardens and stuff like that. They're all making fun. So, I think that I think that one is making fun of it all like those music documentaries But the seals and crafts thing is definitely like what where it was just like Writing the most fucking

pussy music and then the guy was like Like it's all like this big boisterous bullshit is perfect is really good. It's on Netflix I think I really recommend it. Yeah, you should I think. I really recommend it. Yeah, you should. Why the call? Blue Jean. No, the shows called documentary now, but they made, if for one episode, they made a fake band called Blue Jean Committee, which like, actually two episodes, I think. Yeah, it's very good, but they were actually released a vinyl record. I believe. Yeah. I just find my tap. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But the whole series is worth watching. Like Like there's one. I don't know if you watched the

Wild Country documentary. Oh, yeah Ragnese they did a parody of that show is one of the funniest things ever with like Owen Wilson Yeah, it's great. It's great. I really liked Documentary now, but the problem is when they would do an episode about a documentary I I didn't know, I'd be like, well, I can't watch this episode until I go watch the documentary first. That's in the original. You had to watch Giro James Aceshi before you watch it. Before you could watch one likes talking,

one likes chicken, the others talking. The great gardens one is like, that's fucking awesome. That's, it's so good. That is so good. That's like, my kids are watching The Simpsons and they're going, they're in the early seasons and I forget how many references are just, that they don't understand.

And so then I really like, when I watch Citizen Kane from the first time, I was like, oh, this is from The Simpsons. I love how so many things are from the six. Oh, this is what that was referencing that I didn't know because I'm just a fucking red that's from the 12th. A couple of years ago, when Millie still had a nanny, This is what that was referencing that I didn't know because I'm just a fucking red A couple of years ago when Millie still had a nanny her nanny Chelsea and I were having a conversation And I referenced something in good fellows and she had nobody was talking about yeah I sat her down and I really watched good fellows

We just one afternoon we watched like the first 45 minutes of it so but and she was like I understand everything now Yeah, like every reference to every movie has come from this I understand everything now. Like every reference to every movie has come from this. Everything that every man has ever told you. Yeah, I watched on the plane back from Chicago when we did pastry and live. I watched finally many sense of Newark. I haven't watched it.

Oh, who cares, right? But it's on the plane. So I'm going, hey, you know what? I'll watch this thing. Ray Lee Oda's in it is two different characters. Yeah, nobody said that. Yeah, he plays twins. What the fuck? It's really confusing. It's somehow not the worst part of that move. No, no, no, no, no, no. Ray Liot is actually kind of good. He was it like when he's the boat, like the big boisterous character, and then when he's the other side, I'm like, oh, Ray Liot is a

good actor still. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just the problem is you always see him is like the like kind of guy. I'm really ill. Yeah, it's that right? Where he's, but like when he's like this very like reserve guy, he goes, Miles birthed the cool. I'm a jazz nut. I thought that was such a good. I'm like, this is great.

And then it doesn't spend any time with him at all. No, no, no, no, the one character that I liked, welcome to the soprano section of the podcast, Dickey Malthesonti, it following him, I didn't love, but he by the end, I'm like, oh, I like this character and no one and nothing matters here. None of this is for anyone. None of this has any influence on anything. This is all just, it felt like a, it felt like fantasy. It's a Phantom Manus of the, like like it doesn't matter. Like yeah, fan fiction. It was weird that it was a

movie because it felt like it was the A story from like season three, but like the middle of season three where it's like, well, this isn't really influencing what the bigger picture is, but we need something for Tony to do for like six episodes. And then they just condense all that into like, you know, two hours or whatever.

And that's just how this movie felt. It was like, I'll cut away all the B story. This is a story from a TV show. Now it's a good way to put it. Yeah. This is from like a middle of a season. It's like, I was kind of wild. I felt about Camino. Yeah. Right. It's like, it's a, yeah. Where you're just like, Oh, yeah, this is. So hit in by the source material. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It felt like they just couldn't really. Yeah, where you're just like, oh yeah, this is so hinted in by the source material. Yeah, yeah, it felt like they just couldn't really,

I don't know. I think fan fiction is going to put it to. I think the, that Chevy electric truck commercial was better. Yeah, oh, that was so new. Oh, that was so new. New York was. I started going nuts.

I was like, yeah. Do you listen to their podcast? No, Rob Eiler and the, I can't think of her name the lady plays me. I know they have a podcast Dreamy Lynn Seagland what yeah, Jamie Lynn Seagland. It's called pajama pants pretty popular You know listen to pajama pajama pajama pants. Yeah, pajama. I think so. Do you say pajama pajama pajama pajama pajama pajama I say pajama And I say pajama. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm not. I'miler might live in Austin or might have a place in it. I think Jamie Lensitler moved off because there was a

ton more than a few year, a year back or about she and a bunch of her like friends. They discovered Austin. Yeah, sort of did the California thing. Yeah. Yeah, it was in that podcast influx. Yeah. Yeah, they didn't, they didn't episode about the commercial. Oh, did they?

Yeah, it just came they didn't episode about the commercial. Oh, did they just came out oh funny on Monday It made me I think I tweeted like just make this I don't give fuck about I Watch the stupid movie. I don't care about this car make this show almost slept for subrannos. Yeah, like just make it with her Yeah, make it with her and just doing whatever and AJ's just like a complete fuck up. Yep like she's having to put him I would I would watch the shit out of it. Yeah, I just want to be in that universe. When I first saw the commercial and I didn't realize it was a commercial yet,

but I really, we were keen. And then something I thought like, maybe it's a promo for like a spin-off, where she's like, I don't know why I'm ahead. I was like, I bet she's like a lawyer. No, no, no, no, no, no. She was like a real estate agent or something. And it's like her life after picking up the pieces kind of thing

And then it was a fucking truck commercial. Yep, but I was like there was about 15 seconds I was very hyped. Yep for whatever was about it. It was my favorite Car commercial in the Super Bowl since the MLK one Were remember when they used MLK like his family sold One of his speeches to like dodge or ram. So they could do a thing for ramtracks. I don't remember the three years ago. It was fantastic.

It was the perfect indictment of like everything. It's really, they're just all these inspirational MLK quotes. And you're like, oh, this is like really, is this like for Black History Month or something? Like wait a minute, why is there a dodge ring featured? Oh, no. Wow. It was very I have a dream for a higher wheel wells and more storage

capacities. Yeah. Lower fuel efficient. Lowjays. More an associate. One day. Yeah. Jesus.

That we were talking about the Super Bowl kind of before the started again. We're free taping.. This is like Wednesday. The Super Bowl is just a couple days ago. We're time travelers. So yeah, did not feel like it had the cultural impact or like pop culture impact that it usually does. Kind of like the Olympics. Dude, what is going on?

So nobody gives a fuck about the Olympics. They're leading up to the Super Bowl and the Olympics. NBC kept running these promos that was like for the first time in history Mm-hmm the Olympics and the Super Bowl together on the same network because I Who cares? Like who's who are they that's only the first time in history? I don't have to be your network Yeah, no one else know we like fuck like oh, okay I would not I wouldn't have noticed if they hadn't said it.

And I don't give a fuck that they said it. Now, now, also, if you want to know why nobody gives a shit about the Olympics, it's because we just had the Olympics six fucking months ago. Yeah, yeah. It needs to be every two years. And I'm sorry, it's the Winter Olympics. Yeah, those artists cool.

They're not, obviously, the lesser Olympics. Right. We do have a cheating Russian. That's cool. That's cool. It's the 15 year old. Isn isn't she supposed to be she's like the like the the vunderkin of like the same thing where she's like the best in the world. Like the best of the best of the best like no one's seen anyone like her ever and then it's like guess what? PDs. That's where she took her grandpa's medicaid. Yeah. Because of her.

Re-specific pills for for super hard medicine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like, okay, cool. I mean, that's what you expect from the Olympics, all right? Yeah, and like the inherent racism involved with the fact that she's still allowed to compete, but like one US track athlete had weed in her system. And they're like, no, a lipid mother died. Yeah, it's a fuck off.

Fuck all of that. They just looked at her and they were, they saw the hair and they're like, case closed. No, fuck all of that. They just looked at her and they were, they saw the hair and they're like, case closed. Nope. It's not happening. Like nobody's watching the Olympics. I like my friend Sean is fucking Olympics create.

Like he's nuts. Oh, he really is genuinely. He was like, I don't know. No, no, no. He loves the Olympics. Yeah, I thought he was being like, so ironic about all of that. Love's the Olympics.

He loves the Olympics and even he is like Not pumped also. It's like The Russians who are not allowed to call themselves the Russians speak for doping yep and cheating got busted cheating again Uh-huh, so we're gonna Let him get away with it. Keep doing it. Maybe he's doing it. The Olympics. Why are we so fucking scared of a country? That's not a lot to compete in the Olympics? That's it. I feel like the Olympics is like the Catholic Church.

Like, it's kind of played out in the West. And so they're pivoting to Asia, they're pivoting like, and it's still a big deal over there. You know what I mean? Absolutely. I seriously think it is. There's like three markets where the Catholic Church matters in the old film.

And here we're like, ah, it's all corrupt. Like it's not even like you know rush is gonna win it. And everything's like, they're just gonna cover it up if something bad happens. So it's like, well, but over in China, like, fuck yeah, man, we love it. Man, you're making it look like a real one-to-one here. I'm like, I'm on board in this analogy.

I'm fucking floored. I never thought of it like that. You fucking nailed it. Let's start a new podcast Let's just focus on the thing So it's just watered up, but I think you're right like there's too many of them now It's like star wars. Yeah, like I don't want a new star wars every six months. Same. It's not yeah, it's every I still enjoy But I enjoy a little bit less. Well, when we were growing up The summer and winter Olympics were at the same time. Like, they used to be the same year.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not the same time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like every four years. And then summer and winter Olympics were the same year.

And then it was four years. They were like in the early 90s. They switched or the mid-nights. I actually liked the switch. I was finally. Yeah. To do every two years. Four years is a long time.

But every two years feels about right, you know? Yeah. That's a little less than a World Cup, you know, unless you're kind of this world cup Which it's way less than because they moved it from the summer to the winter because it's in cutter for some reason I still I can't believe they're still doing that talk about like corruption. Yeah, it got announced and I was like No, they're gonna It's 100% like when we have to cave to this pressure and move it to like Anywhere else right and they didn't they're like, now we're gonna move the World Cup.

What we normally do in the summer, it's gonna be in December now. It's gonna fuck with every professional soccer league. It's so expensive. Yeah. And again, in the West, we're like, we can't pay our tax dollars for that anymore. So they got to find some oligarch and cutter or Bahrain. And they're like, yeah, I'll do it.

I will kill a thousand you many workers Lots yeah, it's like a lot. Yeah, no human right and it's just like I feel like the elect like we're familiar with the tropes now Like there's it's gonna be all about the Americans Everything's gonna be about how they had a hard childhood, mom had to drive them to practice, you know, it was eight hours each way, and then they get a bronze. Yeah. It's just, it's all the same, we don't hear about any other cut, it's just played out. I don't know, it feels, also, as of last year, 6,500 migrant workers have died in cutters in the world, so we're gonna go for it.

Oh, fucking, so 2, 9, 11. Oh my God. Yeah, like 2, 9, 11's where the people have died in cutters in the world. Oh, fucking so 2 9 11. Oh my God. Yeah, like 2 9 11s or the people have died. Holy shit. That's fucking crazy. Also, I saw at the beginning of the Olympics, they were saying that out of the, I want to say there's like 27,

my numbers are off, I apologize, but I'm approximate. I think I like 27 sites have hosted the Winter Olympics. And of those 27 by 2050, only one will be able to host the winter Olympics naturally Because Yeah, yeah, China's full of I think something they said I think I read something like They spend like 500 million people's worth of drinking water to make the snow or something. Oh, I heard they just feed Weggers into it. That's the other thing like come on like I like all the shit

They're doing over there. It's like it feels a little weird like they clamped down on Hong Kong They got a million Weggers and turned like, but anyway, here's the Bob Slash Yeah, that's just monoboss and I'm not saying we're necessarily any better, but like No, we're not sitting on it. We listen if you're watching this and you're like well how would you have a what about America? We're not sitting on a pedestal here and going and we're the best We're fucked up to fuck you This podcast is being recorded on top of some Indian burial. Sure, you're right.

Shit smell shift. Yeah, 100%. We know because we are it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you know the 2026 World Cup is going to be in North America? Yeah, Canada, Mexico and the United States. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's basically. Oh, man, yeah.

That's cool. So I was looking because you're like, no one wants it. No country wants it. Just give it to a continent. Or a region. Yeah, yeah. And then share it. Aren't the Olympics coming to like LA again or something? like no country wants it. Just give it to a continent. Or a continent. Yeah. Have them share it. Aren't the Olympics coming to like LA again or something?

Oh, I think so. Isn't that, isn't that? I think there's 20 32. 20 32. 22. 32. 32. Okay.

That's this year. Yeah. Uh, I think SLC might be getting the winner on Olympics again. They just put it in a bid. Because I'm one of the few places that can host it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my god. We went to Sundance years ago, which is in Park City,

and they have some of the, like, the vestiges of, like, the old winter Olympics that were hosted out there, like the ski jump and stuff. And you can rent a tube, like an inner tube, and go up to the top of the ski jump, and slide down, like some of the old Really? A limpic stuff that's still out there. Did you do that? Yeah, I didn't do that. It's fucking fun Well, I was I invited you're probably were oh yeah

Fair well, we went to park city twice and I only went once so it might have been the foot You might have gotten to go to the fun trip like the one where you got angry and peed on a snowman you were there for that one no that was the second Salt Salt Lake City all the way that's the second park first time we didn't or yeah which sucked that was where we all like I slept on a pantry yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah like shopping laser when we're like festivals we were like media darlings when we were versus blue for star. Yeah, about two years there where everyone on earth was interested in us. These kids have figured it out. And then it stopped and it stopped forever. Like it was like, hold on a second, hold on a second, New York Times CNN's on the phone.

Yeah, hold on, was that BBC? Hold on, I get it. Let me just conference you all in. And then it was like, click, click, click, click. And then tumbleweeds for the restaurant. Yeah. And now we do podcasts. All kinds of podcasts.

I was like that on Twitter in 2012. I got like a little local TV show and like an agent called me. It was interested. And yeah, never again. Yeah. So pretty much, I know what you're like. Yeah, I got a few bangers and it's just the sky seemed like it was the limit. It's got a minute from a couple of news articles and that was it. Oh, not even I got fucking left out of some of the

I think I got a minute. Yeah, I got a minute. Yeah, I got a minute. Yeah, I got for space. Yeah, yeah, I grew up out there. Only like three of us, four of us got to fucking stand. He had to work hard to cut you out of that. Yeah, he worked really fucking hard. We just did a test episode for a potential new show that'll come out later. Stop saying potential. We did the first episode of a new show. We did the test episodes a year ago.

What's the title? No, no, no, it is not. We have a new podcast coming out. Cut to me. We have a new podcast coming out. Uh, apparently today it's called the cut to me. I'm on the podcast. It's called mind your business. Okay, that's me. All right, now out. Cut to me. We have a new podcast coming out. Apparently, it's called a cut to me. It's an audio podcast. It's called Mind Your Business.

Okay, that's me. All right, back to me. I came up with both of those names. And I think the better name is, it's a, let me give you the premise and then I'll let the audience decide. No, no, the premise is that we've lived in Austin for a really long time.

For 25 years, it's recounting our time here and the changes of the city, but it's called mind your business. But there's more to it than that because we're also, we're going to a different coffee shop in town every week. And then getting coffee and then go sitting in a park or something and the discussing that part of town, how it's changed and also learning about the new coffee shops in town because

we all like coffee a lot and we've been holed up with the pandemic. And so it's a kind of a morning show, which is why we think it's perfect to call it. Good morning, Gus. It is not a morning show by any stretch of the event. We did the whole episode recording and Jeff wanted to like wait to reveal the name until the very end. And that got us a few more minutes. So people being mad at each other. I had a name. I had the name from the beginning and I knew Gus was going to hate it. I was even telling Eric. I was like like I have a name but we have to do it. We have to do it deep into the Requoting. I have to be in a way that it can't be cut out. Mind your own business is a fine name.

But good morning Gus. I think it's a much better one. And it's not a test. We already tested it. It's coming out May. Okay. It's coming out. It is a new weekly podcast. I thought we were just fucking around. Stop. That was it. We fucked around two, a year ago and two years ago. I was the test. I think my calendar invite said test. I kept using the word test and Jeff kept getting mad that I used to.

Test. It's not a test. Test was the first episode. It says coffee test is what I was invited to. There was no title. Coffee. Coffee was the premise. Coffee business.

Mind your business. I'm fine with that. It sounds good. Good morning, Gus. You're so terrible. I'm fine with that. Sounds good as good as good morning Gus. Yeah, that's terrible. I thought you said, y'all, I met her and I thought you said you went to every copy shop. How many kinkos does this have? We went to kinkos and we went to staples

and we went back to kinkos. Oh, my God, you know, this is just you standing on the line like with your resume and wanting it on nice paper or something. But that's where I learned about Gus getting cut out articles and stuff. Like there's, I think it's a cool, I think it's a cool show where

we're not worried about retelling stories. And when I say we, I mean, I'm just there, it's just these two retelling stories, which is a lot of fun and learned about Buddha and learned about getting cut out articles. I think that, it's funny, since we recorded that test episode, what would you call episode one of tests?

I've been thinking about it, and specifically, you said like, retelling stories. And we started, we're just, you podcast been around for a long time. We started it in December, oh wait. But by that point, the company was already over five years old. Yeah. So in this first episode that we did the other day,

we told a lot of stories that predate the premiere of this podcast. And I feel this podcast is largely. What's happening now yeah, yeah, you know, like in the moment, what are we doing in our lives at work all of this stuff this other podcast is. What happened yeah, it is said it is sentimentality the podcast yeah for sure. Yeah, and it's you know, we've lived in Austin so long the company started here It's like also weaving in how much the city has changed over the years. Like in our first episode, we were sitting. I was like, I think we're on the runway of the old airport. Yeah. You know, it's like, oh, yeah, you know, because where we are,

like this used to be the airport. And we, you know, we recorded down the street over here. It's just weird how much things have changed. It, well, that's part of the magic of it. I think part of the thing that I really want to explore that is so fascinating because we were All lucky enough to live in Austin at that that special time when a city explodes and becomes the thing It's gonna be and we didn't necessarily know what was happening while it was happening

You just kind of look up and you're like what what where did 20 years go and where the fuck is? I am I now what is this place? But also we had our heads down through so much of it working those fucking long ass six, seven day weeks for years and years, we missed a lot of it. I don't wanna talk about it to learn what I missed. Like I just discovered this band a couple months ago that I've been listening to every day.

And I was looking up up on Wikipedia, so I was like, I know I listen this band every day, I should know a little bit about them. They were a fucking band in Austin. They had their entire career in Austin from like 2007 or something to like 2015 and I just had no clue. It was it. It's a band called Vox Trot and I really enjoyed it. And my girlfriend was like, yeah, he's watching play at Mohawk all the time and I fucking on my head was down editing Halo. I had no fucking clue. And I just wondered about how much of that stuff has gone on in Austin that we just had no purview too,

because we were just so focused on our thing, you know? That reminds me, I asked my dad one time about the 60s, because that was his era, you know, and I was like, what, like, how was that, like, living through that, like, you know, the hippies and all that? And he was like, that was like 20 people in California. And everybody else was like, yeah, me too.

That's awesome. First he grew up, but he was in central Louisiana. Yeah, right. I don't think it was, I don't think it hit the song. That's so funny. That's great. That's really cool. That's fucking great. Yeah, I read an article.

They're talking about Austin changing. KUT had an article out. They interviewed musicians and their pay has not changed. And like 2040, it's like still getting exactly the same. I mean, I'm sure he was right next to another headline that was like, Austin rent prices increased 40%. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, still like, you know, 50 bucks a gig or whatever. It's like, wait till you hear about stand up. Yeah. It's not any better. This episode of RESTYTH Podcast is brought to you by Squarespace. Making websites on your

We're in a weird week right in the speed of Austin things We're in a weird week right now where a year ago was when that ice storm was happening Yeah, and like all the local news stations are like, here's a photo from one year ago today. And it's funny thinking back like, oh, right about now is a year ago. It's probably where we all were like, oh shit. Yeah, we're kind of fucked now. Yeah. Anyway, it's 70 degrees today. Yeah, I wore a t-shirt out. Yeah, the sequel's never as good. We had that really for like 24 hours. I wasn't just didn't hit the same

because it was, but you don't appreciate unless you were here like everything shut down. Yeah, like every like no one had power and it was nuts. Yeah, like there were I waited in lie. I walked to a convenience store because I was running out of food. And I waited in line to buy a can of green beans that was five years expired No way I couldn't my daughter was in the other set of time and her mom's and it was my week to have her and I couldn't physically get there to pick her up So I have a four-wheel drive. We went to that too. Yeah four miles away five miles away

Just impossible. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, we tracked I took the kids and we tracked down to the convenience store Which is like maybe a mile away But like try when we were just walking in the middle of the street Because there were no cars. It was that first day after yeah, just cuz I needed beer And it was closed and that never happened But tomorrow the the next day they reopen So you pick some barley on the way home.

Yeah. Well, we're just going to have to get into this wine. Yeah, it's a slide. He's old ass wide bottles. Oh, man. The weather, I mean, the thing that we just got over now is that it rained a little bit and then somebody didn't hear an alarm. So we had to boil water for a while.

Jeez. So now they heard the alarm. They just chose not to do anything about it. Oh, that's good. That's cool. And then we had to boil water and we went to Chicago. We had to explain that to people. Like, we have a boil notice and they all went, what's that? Wait, they don't have that?

Until I lived here, I didn't know that that was something that happened. Yeah, those things. Most of them. Growing up in San Diego, I almost never lost power and never had to boil my water. Ever, ever, not like, oh, sometimes we had brownouts like in the late 90s, early 2000s, cause of great avis.

But that was like a scam by Enron. That was like a real thing. That wasn't like the wind blue kind of hard and now you don't have power, I'm sorry. Or boil your water because it rained some. Okay. Never had to do that. Or just either a mollusks or whatever. Yeah, but you all aren't free either. That's true. I guess that's what it is. I never had to say the pledge of allegiance to the California flag.

So no, yeah, I'm truly not free. Yeah, it's the head of Austin water with the director of design the other day. So that was the fourth water boil we've had in three years. Yeah, I believe so. Yeah, yeah. Three fucking years without a boil water four times. And the worst for me is that guy who's the director, I don't remember if I talked about it in our test pod

cast or another one of these episodes, but when they had the press conference right when the boil water nostrils going on Like explain what was going on that director stood up in front of reporters was like hey on the bright side because of the recent freeze Everyone already stockpiled water. So it's not that bad right now And I was like that guy's gonna lose his fucking job as he was saying. I'll see myself out I'm gonna go the oscillator at I'm the water guy in Houston now, and then I'm gonna go to Miami.

I'm gonna fuck that up, go to Florida, fuck that up. Failing upward, baby, I think I got to where I am. My pressure is still weird though. My pressure is still low in my kitchen sink, but my neighbors, they're doing illegal construction. I feel like that's potl... They already accidentally shut my water off. That would, yeah.

They're renovating the house. And last night, they had these big spotlights on, and they were adding another room and stuff, and I'm not gonna rat them out. No. But it is annoying. And it's 11 o'clock, and I gotta hear construction. I will say, after the last time we we lost water when it came back on,

I had low pressure in my kitchen sink as well, and I called a plumber and he showed me what happens sometimes, and I'm not saying this is the case of you, Brian, but you're moment of take a look at it. If you take the end of the spigot off, there's a little filter there to catch sediment and shit, and sometimes it'll blow through sediment and it'll clog it,

and so I just blew that out, my pressure was fine. Okay, so it's like a little mesh screen. Yeah, it's like a little mesh Rear and it just catches particulates and there aren't that many But if the water's off for a while they can like build up. Okay, didn't you also have some kind of like pinhole burst in a pipe or something? Do you mean when my When my iron pipes disintegrated under my house I guess that's what I meant. And then I was shitting into the earth. Oh, I've done that. Yeah, that's a me mean, you mean the $40,000 dollar. $40,000 that I had to build under my 15 foot deep

trench that was five feet, 15 foot, I guess the depth of 15 feet under 25 feet under my house, there was five feet tall, there was there for a month. Yeah. That's what it was. That's a pinhole. Pinhole. Pinhole. When I lived over on the east side, my main sewer line collapsed, but thankfully it wasn't

under the house. It was like out in the yard. Oh, wow. So you said, like a backhoe. Was this in your little person? Yeah. Okay. And when they dug, it was, when they dug the pipe out, the plumber Oh, wow. So you said for like a backhoe. Was this in your little person? Yeah, okay. And when they dug, it was. When they dug the pipe out, the plumber said, I don't think I've ever seen this.

It was cast iron pipes surrounded by concrete. Huh. Yeah, and he was like, I guess there was a brief window of time where they constructed sewer pipes like this in the 40s, this was legal. Wow. Like, but I, he's like, I've heard of these, I've heard it, I've never seen this before.

That's crazy. Yeah, I'm gonna have to, so for me, we don't have to do anything in the house. Just had to like dig up the yard and redo the sewer line in the yard because I was shitting out of the house into the front yard. Yeah. Oh, well that's, yeah.

You're like, oh, all these beautiful flowers. Yeah, my front yard smells kind of bad. What could it possibly be? Yeah. There's a perpetually wet spot right here. Yep. Oh, I hate hearing about these things. Oh, me too.

They just give me anxiety. Yep. Oh, it's the worst. I'm sitting on the Crack Foundation right now, I think. Yeah, I think I'm having settling issues. Yeah, I can tell. Like, I just don't want to deal with it yet. Speaking of a crack foundation,

how's your teeth? Are you talking to me? Uh-huh. I'm okay. I have to go get a root canal tomorrow. Oh, have you had more root canal than boil water notices? Which one is this? This would be my 4th root canal. Uh-huh. So, or different teeth? No. No, this is a ret, this would be a redo. The it got re, I, people are gonna say I'm crazy. I think it was COVID. Get out. I'm serious. I was fine when I had the COVID and then I got,

my tooth started hurting. I went to the doctor and are the dentist and she goes, it's really weird where we did the root canal. There, there's just an inflammation there. There's like a, they gave me some antibiotics and now it's fine, but I think I still got to be able to take care of it. And it just happened at the end when I could, when I had that lingering COVID forever, it wouldn't go away. It was hiding in my tooth the whole time. Yes, they don't know what it does. Yeah. Well, I was reading about online. Well, I was

reading about online. There were like, there's some, there's some data that suggests that it can cause inflammation in your mouth and we can teeth and stuff. And I mentioned that to Dennis and she goes, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Yeah, well Jeff's doing his own research. He's in my own research. To my own research. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I googled it. Yeah, I go. COVID teeth mouth question. So I think I'm getting a root canal tomorrow. I don't know, because the lady was like, I don't have the specialty equipment to do this one. So I got to send you back to the guy that did the first special to you.

So equipment. Yeah, they got to get in there. How's the pain? Because you were like dying. It was some of the worst pain I've had for about four days. And then they antibiotics and motron have helped. It's gone now. It doesn't hurt at all.

Oh, you don't need the root canal. You're cured. Yeah. Well, fingers's gone now. It's like it doesn't hurt at all. Oh, you don't need the Rookanella, you're cured. Yeah, well, fingers crossed, right? Not going to the wood, but I don't think. If that, I think that's an indication of it. He's gonna need the Rookanella, just fucking. What causes the need for a Rookanella? Cause I grind my teeth and I've had like terrible trauma.

When you get an infection in the root, and they gotta pull it out. It's like the cavity gets so deep. Because the reason you get a cavity filled is that it stops it from, I think, eating up into like two- And it works, right? You're right.

And so what happens is the cavity goes on checker, whatever cracks, or from grinding your teeth, things like that, open essentially the tooth up in two where the root is. And then they have to go in and like, scoop it out. Kill the root and pull it. Yeah, and sanitize it.

That is what a root canal is. They canal to the root. I had one for the first time last summer. I hate going to Venice. Yeah, I had one last June, I think. It was not as bad as people make it out to be. It's agreed. It sucks.

One of my three was bad. Yeah, it wasn't like agonizing pain or anything. It's just like, oh my god, I got to lay like this for two hours while they do shit. And then they're like, we're not done. This is temporary. Come back in two weeks and we'll do another two hours to finish it. Yeah. To me, the most exhausting part is that I tried not to move because I like giving you a clean canvas to work with man. Just do whatever you need to do to my mouth. So I was instead of relaxed and like, okay, he's going to do this stuff. I was like, for two hours.

And then I got in my car. It was done. It was numb and everything. And I got in my car and went, and then could have fallen asleep probably right there if I wanted to. I was it was like I'd run a marathon. I was exhausted just from, yeah. For the entire time, it was tough.

That sucked. So anyway, good luck. Thanks, man. Yeah, do you know a problem? Hopefully I'll be ready to film after. Well, yeah, we're supposed to record Fuckface tomorrow, maybe. And I have to do it in your pass, right?

I like, my root canal is at 7.30 and then you'll pass the 10. During the process of the root canal, at one point, like the dance is doing it, then she, like, pauses for a second and she tells me, I don't know how to describe this, but this next part's gonna feel bumpy. And I was like, bumpy, what does that mean?

I don't know what machine they're using, but it's like, I felt like I was on a bumpy ride. Oh! And it went up for like 15 seconds. You're like, okay, that's it, I'm done. And like, I don't wanna know. I don't wanna ask, but I was like, that was really bumpy.

It was just a different setting in the chair. Yeah. That's what they're always like. Do you want to see a picture? I'm like, no, I don't. I don't want to see a picture. I don't want to know any of that looks like. I don't.

I don't imagine what a bloody hole is. Yeah, exactly. My suggestion is bring headphones. Just put something in and just play something and go like, I'm anywhere else, I'm anywhere else. I thought about that. My fear is always that they're gonna ask me to do something or you like on your mood.

It's like, I don't want to be able to hear and respond. I don't want to impede them in a way. Totally understand. Totally understand. It really, man, that really helped me. Having headphones help me. That's crazy. Yeah.

Man, going to like the dentist is hate it. It's like miserable and there are people that like, oh, my dentist is fine. There's like a TV screen and like you wear like these headphones, they put on these sunglasses and like you watch something on Netflix and I'm like, what? Dinosaur, do you go to where they have Netflix?

Well, it's my dentist. It's always HGTV. What? And I'll never forget when I got my root canal, I couldn't see it because I was leaning back and the TV was in front of you But I could hear it and then they're like all right you're all done They put me up and they're like you can leave like no, I need to see this $40,000 deck But I've been hearing about because I don't know how they're spending $40,000 on a deck

And I need to see it before I stand up and leave it is always the same HGTV shows too It's like the lady and her mom or it's like the dude and the lady and... It's every HGTV show. Well, like, you're describing them all. He tries to convince people to sell and then she tries to convince them to fix it up. Love it or listed or fix or flop. No, no, you're right. Love it or listed.

It's always one of those. Because Gus and I go to the same dentist. We watch the same program. I go to an, my dentist, he's older and the office looks like it was like finalized in the maybe early 70s. No TV. There's a he's super nice and I like I like him a lot because he's super nice, but he does get like he'll just start asking me questions when I'm like he's doing like, how many kids do you have again? And if I can't answer with, but it's not like, but kids do you have again and if I can't answer with

Like it but you'll just keep going. It's like I don't want to but like I can't close and open my mouth I'm the the dance we go to like every now and then she'll ask me a question and the same thing I'll give like a weird answer and then she'll like you know, I can know it's like she's not just going Uh-huh like she'll acknowledge what I said and the hygienist is always like how do you understand him? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha You got the knack, you got the touch. That's cool. I made the mistake of at my kids daycare, one of her teachers is deaf. And so I learned the sign for thank you. Oh, it's nice. Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, it's great.

But now she fucking thinks I can sign. So it's not like I came and she wasn't there. And my kid wasn't there. And she just like was off to the race. So it's like, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm just gonna wait right here.

It's like when I love watching Night of Day, fiance. And it's like the same thing when an American goes overseas to visit someone and they only learn like one or two phrases of that language. And it's like, that's it. That's their wheelhouse. Like they're gonna live with Grasias and Tammel. I'm like, that is the extent. I like that. That's it. That is the

extent of the effort that's been put in. And we're gonna listen to that nonstop. Yeah. Thank you. Do you think duo Lingo works? My girlfriend has been doing it for like 74 days straight and she's basically fluent in Italian. Whoa. I'm not kidding dude. Her and her dad both started it because we were gonna go to Italy at some point in the future. Uh huh.

And she starts fights with you. Yeah. No, it's about like, heroes are dinner at the long cross. Fucking crazy. She was just like, as an animal the other night and she nailed it. I couldn't, I ran out of animals to ask her. Really? She just knew everything.

Wow. Yeah, it works really well. I did it for about two weeks to learn Spanish. How how'd you do? I was great and it's almost like a video game. It's fun. I just you know, I got bored and moved on as as I would with any game on my phone. But no, it's it's I think it's actually a pretty legit service and she seems to be really retaining everything she's learning. Wow. Okay. I want to try do it. High school Spanish wasn't my strong suit, but I have enough just from being like growing up in like San Diego, just kind of around it all the time. So it's like, I'll try it again or whatever. I've been making, I've been learning how to sew and making like luchamask.

Not a lot of tutorials in English, and more English-speaking people that make them. So watching a lot of YouTube videos of guys talking, what feels like incredibly fast. Oh, well, the closed caption does not keep up with them. And I'm like, but how do you, but that's, how does that seem? How do you do that? Like, I want to ask these questions

and it's like, I'm not just gonna put it through Google Translate, so I've been trying to like, pick up on Spanish that way and I just go, I think it might just be, I think I gotta like learn something. Yeah, do do a lingo. Manzana. Apple.

I like that. I like that. Beautiful pronunciation. I'm like, I'm not. But the accent was not in the wrong place. Don't let me tell you that. Well, that's been about a year since I did. It's been a year since the two weeks.

I spent on my phone with that little green owl go and do it again. My duo lingo is like an ex that we like dated in 2006. I'm like, I'll hear from them on Christmas. So you know, it's like every now and then like, hey, what's up? Still here. We want to chat for a bit. Yeah. Really. I will say the duo lingo TikTok, if you've never experienced it, is like the best TikTok. What is it?

They just have that little out, that little green dude, they have like a, I don't know, a mascot, and they just do all the TikTok trends and stuff with him, but it's just very funny and very clever and it's very well. I know because, you know, I get 40 of them on my face right now. on my face right right right. But it is like they are doing social media right. Yeah. I absolutely wish you could learn a lot from the duo. From the duo. We know. Oh, well, the owl is adorable. I'm gonna say that. I'm looking at it. We can learn a lot from the duo. We know owl from language and also TikToks. And it's yeah. And it's also the owl is always like hitting on duo. Leapah undo a leeper. That's very funny.

That's very funny. Yeah. That's good. Maybe I'll try it. I don't know. It feels like a thing where it's like I really I got to like take it seriously or I got to like stay at the level that I'm at because what got you into lucha. I mean, I know you're a wrestling fan.

I'm just growing up with like lucha Libre on TV when I was a kid. I was always really like, you know, 90s WWF was like TV when I was a kid. I was always really like, you know, 90s WWF was like, this guy is a trash man and this guy is a robber. Sure, and this guy is a stutter. Yeah, it's like, it's a real gold dust stuff. Watching Lucha Libre was like watching a totally different thing. Like that, what is it?

I think they call it a Yabe style. I think Yabe means a key. Yabe is key. Yeah, so that's the style that they is it, I think they call it a Yabe style. Yabe means a key. Yabe is key. Yeah, so that's the style that they call it. And watching that with like the look and the pageantry and everything of it was like, this is night and day.

This is like, since it's don't called Steve Austin, you know, this is like this big barrel chested like round body guy doing flips and dives, but having like such a cool like this glitter gold look. And you're like, this is fucking incredible. I thought it was so cool. And I'm like, I've always wanted to kind of like learn how to do it. And there's a couple of people out there who there's a something that I follow on Patreon called closet champion. A guy named a Thidian is a wrestler in the US. And he's kind of like teaching is like, here's my tutorials on how to

do this step by step. Yeah. So I bought all this stuff and the right materials and just sort of, like, start, I've done like six or seven now and I'm just kind of like put them together and everything. And then I found another guy named Linsley Dorado who wrestles in the US. He was in WWE and now he's just sort of like independent. And he does all these streams on Twitch where he's like,

here's how I sew all this stuff and here's how I do it. He, I think, smokes a lot of weed and then he's like, here, I'm just like, fucking watch me. I'm gonna fucking sew this shit and here's how I do it. He, I think, is supposed to a lot of weed. And then he's like, here, I'm just like, fucking, watch me. I'm gonna fucking sew this shit. And it's like, really cool. To get deeper into that world, like that's like the surface level. Now I'm following a bunch of Instagrams who link me to their YouTube channels that are all in Spanish that I would never find otherwise.

Or I'm like, these are fucking, like they're like the craftsmanship and everything. They're like the masters. Yeah. Those are the guys who make the stuff that you see on TV and see on paper views. Right. And like they were like the triple A on CMLL and all this stuff and like the guys that are like the guys, they make that stuff and watching. I'm just like, I've always wanted to just learn how to do it.

So during quarantine, I needed something that wasn't just on a computer. Or I think I would like, I wouldn't like ended it. Yeah. I think I wouldn't just gone nuts. I think I would have gone like, yeah, free. We're betting on it. Actually, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was close. So I decided I've never known how to sell. I'm just going to buy a singer machine, a little fashion mate. I'm going to buy some thread. I'm going to take these piles of old rooster teeth t-shirts that they leave out that are just four-way stretchy. Oh, that every way. Yeah. And start cutting them up and sewing them together and to do some research, you know, you're just a little bit more about the way you're doing. So I'm just going to

do some research, you know, you're just going to do some research, you know, you're just going to do some research, you know, you're just going to do some research, you know,

you're just going to do some research, you know, you're just going to do some research, you know, you're just going to do some research, you know, you're just going to do some research, you know,

you're just going to do some research, you know, you're just going to do some research, you know, you're just going to do some research, have marine vinyl, do they? They do. Oh, that's the stuff that you never think about. Yep, exactly. So I went, they have like a lot of shit on sale. And so I found some like four way stretch spandex

and it's like, it's like glittery black and another one that's like the snake skin and it's like, fucking cool. And now the marine vinyl that I need is like that thick stuff. The problem is it's like, it's a little expensive, but also I don't have kids, I can spend money on whatever the fuck I want. But I have to, but I have to like, I'm like lazy,

I have to like go and get it. It has to become difficult with the sewing machine you have, like you need like a more industrial one to further come to. Yes, I need to get, I need to get more of like that, you know, right now it's like that so's all kind of like whatever needle, just for like a little close. I need to get like that, like whatever needle just for like a little close. I need to get like that like a denim stitching like a thicker needle so that way

I can punch through more easily. And I have to use like this silicone spray. So that way it the machine doesn't like catch on the vinyl and the spandex. It makes it all kind of like one easy surface that it glides across. So it's just like I'm like learning all these little tips and tricks. Sort of by watching these videos and going like, what is rudimentary Spanish? I'm like, what? It's not even, I bet it's not even rudimentary.

Like you're learning very, you would have to learn very specialized words. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I would offer to help, but I like, I don't know any words related to sewing. So I'm sure I would watch, I'd be like, I have no idea what the fuck they're saying. Yep, yep, yep.

And that's how I learned like stuff like that. the Yavi style of wrestling of Luchilebre. That's what they call it. And I don't know why it's called key. I don't know. I have no idea. No fucking clue. But it's just a word. One in wrestling, too.

There's so much slang. Yep. You know, from like, at least in the US, from carny days and everything. I don't know how they wrestle in those masks. Like the amount of flying that they do and then the not to have your vision possibly limited. Impairs. Yeah.

I have some friends who wrestle. Oh, I didn't know this. What? Yavi also means hold. Oh, that's it. So it's up put someone in your graph. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that makes sense.

I friends the wrestling San Diego and the wrestle a lot of people like like Lucho Libre starts. They come up from like to want a yeah, wrestling San Diego and the wrestle a lot of people like like Lucho Libre stars. They come up from like to want a wrestling CDA go and stuff. And I always ask like, how do you, you don't speak Spanish, they don't speak English. How do you have a match like that? And they're like, it's weird. Like the language is wrestling. Like we know there's a cadence. It's a total thing. Yeah, where we're, it's easier than having a conversation is just like getting in the ring and like moving through. You're like, well, I know I'm going to do this spot and then he's going to do this spot. And we know we're going to do it kind of like this way.

And we know what the finish is. So now it's putting together seven minutes in the ring to get to that point and building and building and building and that's the language that they speak. It's fucking crazy. That's awesome. It's so cool how it's so different, like Mexican wrestling versus Japanese wrestling versus like UK wrestling, which is like different from, yeah.

I mean, I didn't know UK wrestling was a thing. Yeah, it's very, it's that catch is catch can. You'll see like, For the credit stiffer, I think. It's like a wrist lock into a different wrist lock. And the guy does like a spin to get into a headlock. It's a lot more of like the grappling stuff. You remember the British bulldog?

Classic, classic British bulldog stuff. They were talking about my favorite stories of hearing about like Ligili Bre guys was, they would come up. You, in Mexican wrestling, you can work a style for a really long time because you don't take huge flat back bumps. You roll through everything. So when you hit the mat, you're not splat. Yeah. You are hitting it and rolling through. So you can just work like that forever. So all the guys that would come up from Tijuana would

be like super porky, which is, uh, uh, uh, he died, he died, I think like last year. And when Vee and my friend going, we'd be backstage and super porky was just this big fat guy. And he wrestled all through like the 80s and stuff friend going, we'd be backstage and super porky was just this big fat guy And he wrestled all through like the 80s and stuff and he would just be in his trunks But like pulled down with like his ass out because it helps him cool down faster And that is just awesome. That's the that's the locker room. There's nothing glamorous about it Yeah, it's like oh wow pro wrestling is so cool And then you see super porky with his ass out and And you're like, that guy's a fucking legend.

You look him up and his first image on Google image searches him with a giant piece of ham. Yeah, yeah. What was his, what was his name? He's a hammock baby. Was he, yeah, that's Super Porky. He was brought, he was brazo de plata, I think. And he was, he was in the, he was in like that family of

still, still for arm. Yeah, yeah, there, there within the silver arm. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so that was when he was younger and then he became super porky. Hmm. Big super porky guy. So it's very cool. It's pro wrestling, I think, is a very universal thing because it's easy to watch theater.

It's very easy to just see like a performance and the different style just lends to what the culture is that that American is very like Hulk Hogan. And you have like that Yave like crazy submission high flying style in Mexico. And there's a lot of comedy in it too. Yeah, very different. Yeah, Japanese wrestling is very like how hard it's all about like the baby face like fire.

You know, you want like the guy coming up from like underneath so like the bad guys beat them down, beat them down, beat them down and then how much fire can you have is like the good guy that you can like rally the crowd behind you and how much of a beating can you take before you start fighting back? Fucking crazy. It's really crazy. The amount of work that goes into this stuff and that's why you see these guys who are like Jacked and shredded because if your job was to just not have any clothes on all the along that would be the rest of your job was to make sure that you look good like that like super porky like classic That's that's luchilebre it doesn't matter you don't have to be there are guys

who are that big right like me demon junior and stuff who are like oh like the big But then there's guys like super porky who are just like, I'm just getting by I'm doing like the shit I've always done and everyone does. They did, yeah. Yeah, we love it. So, and that's the wrestling segment. Thank you. Where do you also, where do you cover sopranos segment? Right, right, right.

Fuck face break shit where we do this once a month. And Eric has never not known 86 things about every. It is fascinating. This is edge. This is his surprise return at Royal Rumble last year that I guess was it this year?

No, it had to be last year. Oh no, 2020, so it was two years ago, because it was before it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's now wrestling again after having spinal stenosis and having to retire for the better part of a decade. What is spinal stenosis? It is where there's a fusion part in like your neck and like your spine and if you

If you take too many bumps after that and they find out you have it you die He should have been key role and like why didn't you do that? Yeah, it's a it's an abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal Yep, so you die and magically it got better. Well, I think what happened is um steroids Uh, a lot of uh stem cell replacement, which is what Ray Mysterio did for I think think what happened is a lot of stem cell replacement, which is what Ray Mysterio did for I think his knees. A lot of stem cell stuff, a lot of rehab and just the, he had to retire in like the early, what, 2010s or something. And then I think just medicine changed that kind of thing.

That's cool. This is Eva Marie. She worked at WWE and then got let go and then came back and hey, guess what, got let go again. Oops. Still making a card for her. There you go. Sedric Alexander, part of the hurt business.

We're looking for on card

autos here. You got a Jonathan turkey, dude. Let me know if they have a Joey prism. If this were video games, this is when you would complain to the develop. Yeah, I'll say. Something's bugs. Another new kid, I don't know, but the the back of this card is great because it highlights social issues. It says the new kids are glad their celebrity status gives them the chance to make fans aware of important social issues like education, crime and drugs. Nice.

Using their platform for good. And finally, that little black and white photo of the game. A good friend. Card number 52. They were a difference. You know, I've been watching celebrity Big Brother this this season. I don't know why. He's on it. Let's see. Two of the housewives, which is why I started watching. Shanna Mochler. Todd Bridges, Lamar Odom. What?

Yeah. Wait, Todd Bridges, like Willis, Todd. Willis, the only person left alive from that. From that jump, yeah. Lamar Odom? Yeah. And he spends every opportunity talking about how he wants to get Chloe back.

It's really sad. It's really, I feel really bad for him. That shit's per sale. Cause that shit sailed and then there were other ships and the no ship sailed. about how he wants to get Chloe back. Well, it's really sad. It's really, really, I felt really bad for her. That shit's disabled. That shit sailed, and then there are other ships and the no ship sailed. He's got to be so far down on the list of people that she wants to reconnect with.

Yes. Who else is on there? There's a dancer dude who I'm not familiar with. But one of those dudes from New Kids on, not New Kids on the block, the other one in sync. It was on there, he got voted out. Which one? Ah, Joey.

No. Chris. Yes. Oh, the blocks. Oh, is he, he had the hair, he had the older dude, I think. Yeah, he and Shannon Moclore were buddies. There's a lot of people in this cast.

I'm looking at it right now. Yeah. Who else is cast? So it's Teddy. You got Chris Katan. Chris Katan. I was the one. Chris Katan is on there. That's I was gonna get there.

Oh, I saw him on twit. Somebody tweeted about Chris. Oh, Carson Cresley is on there. He's the best. Who's that? He was one of the original guys from Kurai. Oh, I know. Yeah, okay.

Bon guy. Yeah, he's awesome on it. But anyway, the dude from Insink, Kato Kaelin, he was not on there that I saw. Oh, he's, it might be an older season. Wow. Oh, maybe this is, okay, that's why I thought it was a huge cast. But that dude's been syncing every time he's on camera, they made an in-sync reference.

Like, I guess, like, oh, the V-dote is V-dote, I guess they just weren't in sync this time. To the point where it was like, if you made a drinking game out of it, you would die in an episode. That sucks. And then he got voted out and then it all stuff. Thank God I was like I like to do okay on the show, but eventually I was like get him out of here because I can't take these Why is it so hard to find the fucking cast? Well, all right, it's Cynthia and Teddy from housewives Lamar Odom The dancer dude his name. I don't I don't care the person Cressley Cressley

Wow. They were just done with our, yeah.

Yeah. That's desperate to get back, I think. Andrew start watching it yet or what? He's a fucking loser, he's never gonna. I, I started with anything. I started a new reality show last night. What did you start? That might be like the worst of the worst ever.

That's fun. Adults adopting adults. What? What? It's an A&E series. On human trafficking. Yes. And what are the people you're like,

they are trafficking this person. What is it? Why has no one called the authority here? Why are the cameras still rolling? What is it? What's the premise? It's for poor Filipino. It's like couples who want to adopt an adult for whatever reason.

I don't understand what that means. What does that mean? One of the people who's looking to adopt is Prince Frederick, you know, Josh Agabor's husband. Okay. His his seems like the most manufacturing was like, he wants an air because he has no one to pass like the Gabor foundation onto. Okay.

Yes, Jeff. I'd like to be that. Yeah, you can apply. You can, he probably wouldn't like you the tattoo. That is. You keep, you keep saying what? Delt's adopting adults, but I don't understand like, can you do that? Yes, apparently you can. And this is a series all about that.

And one of them definitely looks like human traffic. Yeah, they're like, oh, yeah, we found. Yes, it does tour the world. They're the human track. They're the one who look like looks like human traffic. They're like, oh yeah, we found, yes, those two are the war, they're the human traffic, they look like the human traffickers. They found a homeless 20 year old pregnant girl in Austria. Oh no. Yeah, and they're like, oh, we'll adopt you

and you can come live with us. And the first episode at the very beginning, they're making a sign to welcome this girl to at the airport. And the wife asks the guy in the tie-dye shirt, like, what are you gonna write on the sign? And he goes, well, if it were my sign, I'd write, welcome to Ohio.

Where's my blowy? And you're like, oh, this is awful. This is gonna be really bad. Welcome to Ohio. My wife goes to bed at eight. Yeah. Geez. Ha, ha, ha.

It's the older adults. Yeah. How did you know? How does that? There's three episodes out so far. I'm like, it's something I'd been DVRing. And finally last night, I was like, I don't have anything else to watch. I'm going to watch adults adopting adults. Yeah, it's terrible. You can watch it on A&E by the way.

I'm watching, I'm rewatching an A&E show, Horders. It's something about it is so satisfying. Right. Because I can just feel superior to someone. I'm going to be able to see it. I'm going to be able to see it. I'm going to be able to see it. I'm going to be an A&E show, Horders. It's something about it is so satisfying because I can just feel superior to someone because they're always the, but I always feel bad because I realize

everyone who is hoarding, they're either poor and they don't want to throw anything away because they might need it or they have suffered severe trauma. And the divorce or somebody, so it's really just sad. Yeah, and some of the times, like I wonder about the physiological effects of the horde on them, like do they have

like some kind of parasite in them, or is there like some unsanitary condition has like affected their brain and being in that for so long? Yeah, I feel like the cat people, or the pet people, deaf, there's something. Like yeah, actual plasmosis going on or something. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's true.

Because when they have to clean out your house with hazmat suits on and then you have to, yeah, it's, it's not like, or the plumbing goes bad and then they come up with worker. Oh, those are awful. Oh, yeah, and like don't eat while you're watching horgers, ever, because it's not going to be a good way to eat your horgers. They did a thing where I think that show used to be one hour.

And then at one point, they like stretched it to two hours. It's not nearly as entertaining with two hours, I think. Or am I thinking of like, I'm thinking of one of the other ones, like hoarders, buried alive, or, because there's a couple. Yeah, there's Spinoff. And as the seasons progress, you can tell they're trying to ramp up the drama or bring in family and here's the sunny

hasn't talked to with a crystal meth problem. And he's going to confront like yeah. And in some of the early episodes, my wife and I just rewatched one a couple of weeks ago, in some of the early episodes, they would have like the cleaning specialist spend the night in the house too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they stopped doing that like they weren't sure what the format was. Yeah, I just felt like padding a little bit. Yeah, they're good. Yeah, it's there's the cleaning specialist and then the psychologist or whatever. But then yeah, they sort of get like,

confer Tate, it's great though. I was getting my internet fixed a couple months ago. By the way, did you get your new internet? No, I have not. They got my yes detected. Wait, I hate you. I got my yes fixed a couple months ago. By the way, did you get your new internet? No, I have not They got my yes detected me. Wait. I hate you. I got my yesterday. It's super fast It's like zoom fast internet five five gigs, right? It is yeah, five gigabits. Yeah So

Anyway, not this time because the guy literally just showed up and was done in five minutes So the easiest thing ever but the previous time I started your gateway. No, okay, because I had just had my replaced a couple months ago. So it was future which one do you have the BDW 210? Never mind. Send me a photo of it later. What the fuck am I? Which one do you have? You just said some level of memory. BDW 210 to 20 whatever gets a job done. Mr. Mom there. Anyway, so the guy was there for like three hours trying to fix a problem and it ended up being something they had to call in and fix.

Uh, but I was just like shooting the shit with him talking about experiences going, you know, installing and like crazy customers and stuff. And he mentioned, uh, hoarding came up and he said that they, uh, they are routinely have to go to hoarding houses. Oh, really? And they, there are sometimes they can say, they'll just say, no, I can't go in there. Wow. Like, they'll just be like, I'm sorry, it's not clean enough.

And they're like, it's not safe for me to go in. Yeah. And he was like, I was like, that can't happen very often. And he was like, it happens more often than you'd think. Yeah. I remember, what is not as uncommon as I guess, I would expect it to be. Yeah, I remember once when I lived over on the east side,

I was driving down the stairs, going to go down to get coffee at Thunder remember once when I lived over on the east side, I was driving down the stairs, going to go down to get coffee at Thunderbird, which is over there on the east side. And I was driving down like a residential street, and there were like, I could tell that someone was being evicted from their house, like the Sheriff's Department's there, and like someone's in the front yard crying. And apparently whoever that was being evicted was a hoarder,

because like the front yard was just filled with garbage. I was like, man, that's gotta be a terrible start to the day for someone to be evicted. And like if you're a hoarder, you see on the show, like you get really attached to your stuff and where it is. It's very particular about it. They don't look at it as crap.

They're always like, this is valuable. And like all of their valuables are just out and like, blowing away. Like, man, that sucks for them. Yeah. Speaking of the internet, I have the dumbest, most first world problem ever. I'm gonna complain about it here.

Is it that you told me that you signed up for new internet and then I did it? And then I got my new internet installed and they still haven't contacted you? Oh, that's, that's part of it. That, that's definitely part of it. But this is, this is, and I had to my new internet installed and they still haven't contacted you. That's part of it. That's definitely part of it. But this is, this is, and I had to delay it for like two weeks because of my COVID.

This is internet related. I've got a lot of like smart home appliances, and one of the things I have is like vents that are on, like they can control and be an app, or you can send them like via time, they'll open and close automatically, so you can like direct direct airflow in your house. They've been offline for over a week now.

And oh no. Yeah, it's like, oh, I didn't realize they needed the internet. Like, I just want to be able to open and close them from my, why the fuck do they need to connect to the internet for me to do that? And I contacted support and they're like, yeah, we're aware, we're having an outage.

And like, well, when's it gonna be fixed? It's been like I have a ladder now Because the reason I have these vents set up on my phone is cuz like they're they're high They're outreach or hard hard to get so I have a like a ladder in one of my rooms who's like Oh, I gotta fucking adjust my vents manually every day now. Yeah, because my vents can't connect to the fucking internet Boy the connected internet they can't connect to whatever goddamn server is. So fucking annoying. That sucks, dude. I don't think I have any smart appliance,

anything in my house. I got fucking tricked by a dude we used to work with, named Bernie, to buy a bunch of smart appliances. Yes, I know that. He didn't fucking asshole. I bought, he convinced me to buy like a $300 coffee pot because I can control it from Alexa. Worst purchase of my entire life.

Right, the fucking traffic. And after six months. Every time I try to make coffee it would be like, sorry, the temperature range is, the temperature is out of range to make coffee right now. It's trying again later. And it would be like room temperature. And I would have to like dump it out and try it.

It was so much more. Yeah, it was like so much. It was so much trouble to get this coffee pot to just make coffee that I threw it away. And then I've sworn off smart shit for the most part to that. But I had to I had to remodel a few years ago and I had to like unplug all of my smart stuff during the remodel. And then like when it was all done, I had to like plug it all in and get it all going again. My house took a full day to software update. It was, it was a weirdest thing in the world.

It's like, oh, everything in my house has been offline for a couple of months and everything is paging my internet to download updates and install shit. I might, I might go the Luddite route as I get older and just be an anti-technology. I hear there's a great movie coming out for you soon starring Charlotter Copley. You'll really like it. Yeah, I'm just thinking that not everyone's a hero, but truly this movie is portraying

a true hero, really showing him a lot of glorification. Fighting the government and keeping up with like finding technology. Technology has really been doing him in for a long time and he just tries to go what you're saying goes into the woods tries to live a modest life. But he's being called Ted K. Yeah, it is he's trying to live a modest life, Jeffrey.

I don't want to write a manifest. I'm not looking to bomb professors. I just, sorry, I stopped on you. No, no, sorry. Please watch the trailer. The trailer makes it look like Ted Kaczynski's a sympathetic character. It is. He's like glory shot.

Like he's putting on these sunglasses at one point. And you're like, this Ted Kaczynski, what? And even his portrayal. Time to hear the other side of the story. That's it. Dude other movies that have him they really only show him is like crazy like you hear in here and everything even in this movie When he looks like that he looks like the brawny man like it really like he looks put together It's really fucking well his bombs were so like intricate because he was like making all the pieces by hand They just couldn't fight or Tisinal. Yeah, they were like you don't know when he's not buying shit. He's making it all Yeah, when you like when you learn so much when you're inundated with so much MK ultra

Like just like subliminals that like you learn how to make these intricate bombs Then really what's that side of the story? You know what I mean? I'm going to rephrase what I said earlier. I want to be a pacifist. Oh, I don't have four violence. I always have. They're showing that movie at Alamo. It's out already. Yeah, I think I think it comes out like soon. I think it comes out with the next couple

weeks. I want to see it, but I have to buy a ticket on somebody else's account because I'm on that smart. Yeah, it comes out this Friday. There you go. Right. I know by the time this episode comes out, it'll be me and Gus are going to go see it in 40 X. We're going to get fucking shaken around. It's going to be awesome. The bomb rumble. Yeah. Yeah. It really like, man, please watch the trailer for this. I can't. It fucking blew me away. I could not not the right phrasing. The right phrasing really could not make it. They nailed it. Oh, yeah. He only did, he ended up killing what?

Three people. I don't think it was very many. I think it was like two or three people, two or three people. Yeah, and three people got him. He mailed a lot more bombs than that. Yes, yes, yes. A lot more injuries.

He kills three, injured 23. Yeah. Yeah. So it's Jeff's hero or whatever he was saying a minute ago. No, no, no, no. I was just saying that like, for instance, I have a couple of car plays very cool, right? You like get in your car, you turn on car play, you control everything from here, listen to music

or podcasts or whatever until it stops working. Yeah, right. And then it doesn't repair ever. Yeah. And I have just in a situation where I have a car that used to do Apple CarPlay and I have a phone that used to do Apple CarPlay and now they just no longer talk. That's, and so I'm, you say, yeah, I want to move to the woods.

Yep. That's how I feel about video games like Nintendo just said, they're shutting down the eShop. Oh, yeah. for the Wii U and the 3DS and like yeah, those are old and and They people were like they had a Q&A and it was like well, what about like you know What about online playing and they're like for now? It'll be fine But it's like I feel that way about all digital stuff. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna have it now But to me so much of like the digital and I feel this way about all digital stuff. Yeah, we're going to have it now. But to me so much of like the digital, and I feel this way mostly about video games,

it's so ephemeral to me. I know that there is like people want to archive these things and hold on to this stuff, like, especially video games or whatever. But like if I can't play Overwatch in four years, I don't fucking care. Like it's Overwatch. You know what I mean? Like these things don't they hold so little meaning. There's there's so I mean, it's like bubble gum. Like it's not like Metroid one where it was something that I grew up with and it felt like it was

a big thing. But would it be different for someone who's growing up with overwatch? And I feel different and I understand that. But I don't know who's clamoring and I don't want to like segment these things or whatever. Fuck the Wii U. Like, I don't know who pairs. It's the Wii U who gives a shit. Anything that was on that thing is on Switch. Doesn't matter. That was just that was a whole that was a holdover console that doesn't.

You know, like Chronicles X. It's not important. It's just for when you need that. It's taken out of a case and put them on. It's true though, like you go back to like even the Dreamcast days. You buy fantasy star online for 60 bucks and you can play it online as long as people still give a shit about it. But the second it's not popular anymore, it's like, yeah, if I can get done.

Forever. Yep. You don't have rights to those servers for the next 50 years. That's the word people are talking about games as a service and you can's like, yeah, if I can get done forever. Yep. And that I don't have rights to the servers for the next few years. The people are talking about games as a service and you can go like, well, yeah, I don't want that because I want like these games. There's going to be what, whatever. And then look at consumer spending and games as a services the future. I don't like there's no two ways about it. Game pass is so aggressive about it. And it's, yeah, and it's working. It's working.

So that's what it is. And honestly, I can't point video game for more than an hour anyway. I mean, I just, however, with all the consolidation that we've seen happen, I just fear the future court's like, you pay your monthly video game bill. And there's no competition. But that's what's going to happen.

Like diversity in choice, that's not like, you know, right now we benefit, you know, people like, we benefit from PlayStation having Horizon for Ben West as an exclusive, you know, it's like, well, that's not going to come out in Xbox. So they have to innovate and make their own games. Like games get better because it's competition. If we end up with less like this one monopoly, it's like, oh, I'm going to pay for this. It's like, then you're just going to get the same shit recycled over and over. Low effort.

Counterargument to that though is we were there with cable TV in the 90s in early 2000s And we all bitched about how we wanted to allocate and we wanted to just pay for what we got now I have an Amazon Netflix Disney plus paramount plus Peacock, Hulu Criterion ESPN plus subscription who grew criterion ESPN plus subscription. Oh, I have the pay for all of those individually. And when I wanna watch something, it's fucking confusing which app I go to do it.

And I wish I could go back in time and kick myself in the dick for complaining about cable. Well, it's too expensive. They did it. They did it in so much cheaper than the loan pay now. We were thinking, just take the cable bill, divide the number of channels, and charge that free channel.

They went in a totally different way, which we should have seen coming. We were stupid to think that that's how they would do it. Yeah. Are they gonna change PlayStation now to be something that I want or no? They're gonna come out with their own game paths. I think that's like people said that's another one.

Well, it have games on it that I wanna play, or it will continue to be like PlayStation now. I think it'll, I think it'll be better, but it what's more, what's scarier is Microsoft is like, oh, we don't have any plans to buy PlayStation and Nintendo. They're important to our industry. I think it's going to eventually be like, uh, Microsoft's like job of the hut and Sony and Nintendo are just like two little birds and cages. In the background, just for its own amusement. They're very important to our industry.

Oh, did you guys see that happening? What? Microsoft being this size? Yeah. No, fuck no. When the Xbox came out, like I really after like what a flop the Xbox one. Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying. Like I really thought it was a flop the Xbox one. Yeah, I know it's what I'm saying Like I really thought it was over that Sony had

Look, I thought they were I thought it up. Yep. It showed it up after the 360 I'm like man Microsoft's hot. Yeah, what do we get Xbox one was a disaster? Yeah, it looks like the 360 was hot hot hot and then Xbox and then they just Fucked it up so bad and now they went Money will solve all our problems. What I read, it's like you're just reminded, like, oh, Microsoft's a two trillion dollar company. And before, I think what I read was like Bill Gates

and Steve Balmer hated video games. So they didn't, it wasn't the deal, but the new guy, Sack and Della, is all about it. So I think he's just like, yeah, man, whatever you want. Phil Spencer's been there for a few years and it has like a track record of success. And now it's like, Oh, yeah, let's put some money behind this endeavor and let's see where they go.

And it just keeps, I think you know, a lot of the organization, uh, first party Sony studios as PlayStation studios is like the first step in building out PlayStation now to combat game past down the road. Like now you've seen a consolidation under a brand that you can hopefully counter this game past. Have you tried any of the cloud gaming stuff that they offer with game pass? Yes. It it it works. Sometimes until it doesn't and then you go. Yeah. It because the second it doesn't work. It's it's it starts to do it.

It's like watching like an old VHS tape, like where it feels one to one, the latency is like great. Until it desinks a little bit and then a scam line goes over the whole, like everything kind of fuzzes and a scam line goes over it. And you go, we're not here yet. Yeah, it's getting it's getting there. It's way better than it has been in the past. But I think there's a reason they don't charge for that as a separate service.

It's like, oh, you get that too. The best experience is Stadia. Like, their tech is really good, but that's all they have. Aren't they trying to sell that tech now? They're going to white label it. And they've said, yeah, this is the future. We're not. We're not Okay, we're not gonna make very curious. Okay

My SIM card stopped working when I was in Chicago. I was thinking more about technology Hmm, and then I realized I'm carrying like the I couldn't do anything with my phone And I look at SIM card just stopped working. Don't know no idea. It just like it just said no SIM card and I went But there is huh So I had to go to an 18t store but like for the few hours when my phone didn't do anything it was that thing of like I want to be so rich one day that I can This happens and I can just go fuck this and then snap it and then throw it and then I just have one ready for It's perfect. That's what I want Never will achieve, but that's what I want. It really felt weird carrying this thing around

when it didn't connect to anything, and I went, this camera sucks. Like, that's all. That's all it did was take photos. Got a bad camera and a bad phone. Yeah, and it was like, this is, this sucks. So I went to the AT&T store, and the SIM card was like five bucks, but the guy saw my phone background was older,

he baster from the Wu-Tang Clan, so he gave it to me for free. Oh, nice. Oh, yeah. Oh, do you be opening those doors? Hell yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. So.

I know. I was another technology thing. I've been watching euphoria. I don't know. And Jesus reminded me for the million of time, how happy I was to have gone to high school before any of my children. Oh, no. Oh no kidding. Like oh my god like they're just constantly sending nudes and like they're way cool. I mean it's HBO so it's like they're living

cooler lives but like no one fucked in a pool in a party when I was in high and then kids are just standing around filming it. It just like it just gives me high. Yeah. just watching it. Like it is terrifying. Yes, especially having a teenage children. I'm not there yet, but I'm cl... Yeah, I was like, oh. Yeah, the other day I was at a drug store.

I think it was like at a Walgreens Center. And I was walking out. And I saw like these two teenage girls walking by like high school age or something. And they walked by and like they had their phones out. And they walked up to like a couple of birth scooters, like unlocked them. And then like rode away and the birth scooters like, man, phones out and they walked up to like a couple of bird scooters, like unlocked them and then like rode away and the bird scooters like, man, how awesome. How cool. I wish I had technology like that

when I was a kid. I was like, no, wait, no, no, no, that there's a nightmare behind all that. Like watching that 10 seconds of interaction. Like that was cool. Everything else, absolute nightmare. You give up. You would have done with that scooter five minutes later? Yeah. I graduated in 04. So I caught, I'm in that in between of like, I remember before there was internet while I was still young. And then I remember the internet being so pervasive. I remember not having a cell phone, but being like in school and all that stuff. And so I didn't have like a my space page.

Yeah. Like it felt like that was the first thing when I was sort of like a senior, like a junior senior, something like that, was like right around like that my space time. And I never had one. I was just very like. You just thought I'm a friendster, huh?

Oh, yeah. I didn't know Zenga for me. It was just very like the beginning of that social media. And then as it sort of became more pervasive, I had that conversation with a lot of people of like the megastix-de-four guys where it's like, man, we're fucking lucky that we missed. And call all of it dude. I just, that's, that's why I think I could walk away from it in a couple of years of my older age. I think I lived luckily, luckily as a Gen X, I was able to live in a,

in both worlds. Yeah. Pretty, pretty far along. How old are you, Brian? 45, X, I was able to live in both worlds. Pretty far along. How old are you, Brent? 45. 45. 46. Yeah. So, like, I was an adult before the internet.

Right. I mean, it existed, obviously. But, you know, it's like, it was more like a working on it. It was specialized. It was like, if you went to like the back of the office store, there were a bunch of dudes painting figurines. That was kind of the... It was also like, let me go online. Like, it wasn't pervasive. It's like, you have to goel of hobby store. There were a bunch of dudes painting figurines. That was kind of the, it was also like, let me go online.

Like it wasn't pervasive. It's like, you have to go out of your way. Like, I'm gonna connect, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna disconnect it now. That's over there. And like, I've even started getting the paper, again, the physical paper. Oh, no.

And it's awesome. And I don't, it's way better than looking at shit on my phone. And I do think that I, I'm fortunate in that I lived long enough in the way the world used to work, that it's not anathema to me, the idea of it. You know how to navigate it. Yeah, and honestly, it's a lot simpler to navigate. You could do a decimal with the best of them. Yeah. And as I, you know, like I'm 46 in another 10 years of God willing, I'll get to retire. At some point in my life, 10, 15, 20 years. And then I won't need social media and I won't need all of this stuff to

to maintain the career, I could really just see I would really love to just disappear. Yeah, you don't need to put your brand out there. Yeah, and live a quiet life. And much the way that I imagine my parents probably lived in their 40s. It's, it's definitely like the use of it, I don't like interacting, like just kind of like screaming into a void, and it helps with the career kind of aspect of it. Yes. I had to have the brand and have a following and like that kind of thing. But like one day, it will just be like, no, no, thanks. Yeah, because I won't need it. I don't need that. I don't,

I need it for career, for work and everything right now. Right. But past this, it's like, I don't need it. I don't need that. I don't. I need it for career, for work and everything right now. Right. Right. But past this, it's like, I don't give a shit about this. It means nothing. And so it's so again, it's like bubble gum. It's so fucking ephemeral. Like anything I have to say. Uh-huh. I say on a microphone. Yeah. And then at some point, I could just turn the microphone off. I don't really have anything important to say. Yeah. No, at some point, people are going to be like, we heard you say nothing for 20 years. Yeah. That's enough. You know, it'll be quiet. Yeah, like all the stuff I think about retirement too now, and I'm like, I just want to like, you know,

have my bills paid, like eat out and like do stand upsets. Yeah. And that doesn't, none of that is. Yeah, and just play video games. I guess you probably will need the fucking internet. Well, you know, I think I could probably walk away from video games, because I'm really just down to Jim's award at this point.

This is crazy. I played it for about an hour this morning. Uh, yeah, I forgot what I was going to go with that. But anyway, yeah, no, I totally agree. Like I just, I'm, I'm, I'm really looking forward to the time in my life when I can just relax and not care about speaking. Speaking of not talking into a microphone. Let's stop. Let's stop talking to your microphone.

Okay, go to rtx event.com and buy your tickets. So you can see this in person. Yeah, you have to worry about the microphone. No, this won't be between us. No, it'll just be a conversation that we have. But when you get off before we go, when you get off the internet, can you just not post that you're going to get off the internet?

Can you not be? Just do as we can. You just fucking do it. Yeah, no, I'm not going to get off the internet. Can you not be? Can you just fucking do it? Yeah, no, I'm not going to make a big production. I am taking a social media break. Yeah, grow up. Yeah, I just, I'm just, yeah, I'm just going to delete the app. All right.
